David

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy

David is a lively, friendly, and curious dog. At first, he may appear a bit cautious, especially around someone he doesn't know, but that initial wariness wears off quickly and his more approachable and playful personality shines through. He's one of those dogs who wants to discover what's going on around him and gradually builds trust. That's why the best approach with David is to give him the initial space he needs to get to know you and feel comfortable. Although he arrived at the shelter on August 18, 2026, we hope his time here is just a chapter in his story and he soon finds a family ready to get to know him for who he is: a curious, friendly dog with that lively spark that makes him special.

David es un perro pizpireto, simpático y curioso. Al principio puede mostrarse un poquito precavido, especialmente ante alguien que todavía no conoce, pero esa primera cautela se le pasa enseguida y pronto deja ver su carácter más cercano y divertido. Es de esos perros que quieren descubrir qué ocurre a su alrededor y que, poco a poco, van cogiendo confianza. Por eso, lo mejor con David es darle ese pequeño margen inicial que necesita para conocerte y sentirse cómodo. Aunque llegó a la protectora el 18 de agosto de 2026, ahora esperamos que su estancia aquí sea solo un capítulo de su historia y que pronto encuentre una familia dispuesta a conocerle tal y como es: un perro curioso, simpático y con ese puntito pizpireto que le hace especial.

About David

What life with David looks like

David is a puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Protectora Villena in Spain.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇪🇸Adopting from Spain

Spanish protectoras generally include sterilization, all vaccinations, microchip ID, and EU pet passport in the adoption fee (typically €250–€400 for a dog, €100–€180 for a cat). Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

Frequently asked

Adopting David, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about David?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Protectora Villena handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw David on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt David if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Protectora Villena will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is David already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if David isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Protectora Villena early rather than rehoming privately; they know David and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (ES). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
